lide is withdrawn, the "safety cover" pulled out
and the film pack operated for successive exposures just as in film
cameras.
Then at any time the slide may be reinserted, the adapter removed and the
subject sharply focused on the ground glass by precisely the same method
you would follow in using glass plates.
Thus a Premo plate camera will take films or plates with equal facility;
it offers the daylight loading and other features of the Premo Film Pack,
as well as every advantage of the ordinary focusing camera; and many of
these Premos are as compact as purely film cameras.
With the Premo Film Pack Adapter, also, it is an easy matter to make
multiple pictures (two or more exposures) on one film.
[Illustration: The Adapter is loaded just like a Plate Holder.]
This is done by manipulating the slide in connection with the film pack
tab, and the procedure is fully explained in the Premo manuals.

KODAK BALL BEARING SHUTTERS
This shutter works automatically and operates with remarkable smoothness
and precision. The leaves are made in five segments, mounted entirely on
ball bearings, and open and close in the form of a star, admitting a much
greater amount of light in the same space of time than any other type of
shutter. All except the No. 0 have variable indicated speeds of 1/25, 1/50
and 1/100 second, operate for bulb or time exposures, and are fitted with
indicator for registering each exposure as made. The No. 0 is graduated
for speeds of 1/25 and 1/50, has no registering device and operates with
finger release only.

The Kodak Ball Bearing Shutter is supplied with the Premoette Jr. No. 1A,
Film Premo No. 1, Pocket Premo C and Premo No. 8; the No. 0 size with
Premoette Jr. No. 1.
COMPOUND SHUTTER
The Compound Shutter is an automatic and setting shutter combined.
Automatically, either time or bulb exposures may be made, while it may be
set for speeds of from 1 to 1/150, 1/200 and 1/250 second, according to
size of shutter. The shutter leaves are formed of segments opening in star
shape, giving even illumination over the entire plate the instant the
exposure is started, and it has an iris diaphragm. Case is made of
aluminum, and accurate adjustments can be made with shutter in any
position. It may be operated by either bulb or finger release.
